Tying up them Mater Plants: Support the weak

dickdeepdog (64)in #food • 7 years ago

The tomatoes are finally big enough to need extra strength from a steak.

I tied up 13 today to keep them supported and encourage growth!

"Locate the lower, thick part of the branch below a fork. (Do not tie branch tips to stakes as they are more likely to break.)

Wrap one end of the tie around the thick part of the branch and tie a granny (double) knot. To get the best tension, imagine you’re making a knot around your finger. Don’t pull too tightly or you will injure or choke the plant.
Gently stretch the tie to the cage or stake, supporting the branch.
Wrap the second tie end around the stake or cage wire.
Adjust the tension more or less to train the branch to a supported position along the stake.
Fasten the end of the tie to the stake or cage with a granny (double) knot."

I have always been an artist. My understanding is that most people, if not everyone, produces artistic content fluidly throughout their days. Whether or not that art is documented, complimented, seen, produced on purpose, posed for, manipulated, cheated stolen or just experienced; most things around you including you are art.

Entrepreneurship is an art form and I will now have voice where it is preferred. I have decided to spend my time working on art and for love not with less focus on working for money.
